Ms. Mascia's Classroom Library
Welcome to my virtual library! This site showcases some of my favorite books to read with my students.
The Giving Tree By Shel Silverstein
This is one of my favorite books to read in the classroom. This story is all about a little boy and his tree. How the tree gives selflessly to the little boy. Silverstein truly shows the readers what giving selflessly, without receiving anything in return, to the people that mean the most to you. This would be a great story to read aloud and have a short writing activity about giving to others. The students can write a paragraph about the way they could give selflessly to others. Then having the students share their short stories to the class.
Lexile Level: 530L
